Canada is ready to conclude a trade agreement with the United States that would serve the interests of both countries, but it must be stable and reliable. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said this, Reuters reports, as cited by UNN.

Carney emphasized that Ottawa is ready to return to the negotiating table as soon as the United States is ready to do so.
An agreement that serves the interests of Canadian workers, families, and businesses also serves the interests of American families, American businesses, and American consumers. We are ready to sit down at the negotiating table and conclude this agreement when the Americans are ready
The Canadian prime minister suggested that the American side had softened some of its demands recently. According to him, the United States had previously insisted on a number of issues that remained points of contention until the final hours of the negotiations, which broke down in August.
Shortly after Carney's statement, U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that it was not in the Canadian politicians' interest to make him their "enemy." He also threatened Canada with serious economic consequences in the event of such a confrontation.
